    Drain and supply lines can sweat but usually not. If you have any sweating it would only be on the cold line and only if you drew quite a bit of water. Is this your case? Could be pipes are leaking. Dry off with towels and then put one wrap of toilet paper around each pipe to find where the leak starts
